flu.
When he wrote out a prescription for some medicines: pills, powder, drops, and mixture. He
also advised me to take a scalding footbath, to have hot tea with some teaspoons of raspberry
jam. That would keep my fever down. The result of my x-ray examination and blood analysis
was normal. I had the prescription made at the chemist's. I followed the prescribed treatment to
avoid complications. Every day I took a tablespoonful of mixture 3 times a day and some pills.

myself. Now I go in for sports because sports make me strong, healthy and cheerful. Every day

vegetables.
